    Carne asada tacos and a fried cod taco
    Masha V.

    This place is located one floor below the Vail transportation center. There's free chips and salsa! Love that and there's a little salsa bar for you to get your own. Carne asada tacos: street tacos come in two. You can order flour or corn tortilla, I ordered flour. The steak was chewy and needed to be sliced thinner. Fried cod taco: Flavors were just ok. Fish was fried and tasted fine. Macho burrito: is huge! Got the carne asada one. Again, steak is chewy and needs to be sliced thinner. Service was friendly and quick. The place has plenty of seating and even has a bar for alcoholic beverages. There are also restrooms nearby. The price is right and you can't beat that in Vail.

    Mexican apple pie!

    The best Mexican food I have had in a long time! Had the carne asada street tacos and sopapillas. Best of all they made us and our pup feel very welcome! Skip the fancy places in Vail and feed your soul here!

    vail village's best kept secret!! first of all, you either have to be a local avid skier, coming in and out of the station, to even be aware of this amazing well-hidden gem "shy... thank you so much 4 the amazing service & simply outstanding time last weekend!!" rae & i had an amazing incredible time!! best fish tacos ever!!!! ‍‍ workaholic took a break

    Salsa bar

    Very solid low cost fast and convenient Mexican food right at the transportation center in Vail village. Chips don't seem quite the same as previous years but still solid and a fave with local working staff. Full bar service. Often our first take out order on our way into town. Chile relleno outstanding. Online order app a bit wonky. That could use improvement (the order did not allow for plan ahead or specify which tacos we had ordered)

    Complimentary chips and salsa!

    For the second half of our girls night, my friend picked Root & Flower. The atmosphere is…read morebeautifully elevated, making it the perfect sophisticated spot to continue a long conversation. Price: Expect standard Vail pricing for high-end cocktails, with most drinks ranging between $16-$20. Customer Service: The service was fantastic. The staff was incredibly kind and efficient; even though we stayed for quite a while to catch up, we felt welcomed and well-attended to the entire night. Atmosphere This spot has a cool, welcoming vibe that feels very safe. It's the kind of environment where you can really settle in and enjoy the company you're with. The Drinks I ordered the Sangre del Sol. The flavor was amazing, though be warned it is very strong! It's an excellent choice if you enjoy a cocktail with a serious kick, but I ended up letting my friend finish mine after a few sips. Overall Experience I highly recommend Root & Flower for a beautiful setting and top-tier service. Pro Tip: A huge bonus for this location is the parking! You can park for free after 3 PM at the S. Frontage Rd. East garage right nearby. I'll definitely be back!

    What a fun fun fun cocktail bar! We were up in Vail for a wedding weekend with friends, and…read morestumbled upon this cocktail bar after the rehearsal dinner. It was pretty quiet (still off-season), and my husband and I were the only ones there when we walked in around 10. We sat at the bar and had a lovely conversation with Jeremy; I ordered the Gingerbread Man (take on an old fashioned with brown butter washed bourbon, and my husband got the "50 Shades of Green" - definitely one of the most unique cocktails we've ever tried! The description "arugula infused gin, yogurt washed aquavit with Pandan herbs & lime" - it had everything - some sour, some umami, some sweet from the Pandan - what a fun and unique cocktail. Shortly after we walked in, a huge group of 10-12 women walked in followed by some other groups shortly after them. It was a really fun atmosphere and both cocktails were 10/10.

    For reference my 5 star experience was in the gondola. Highly recommend doing this though while in…read moreVail! Definitely felt like I was back in a Switzerland ski town! The gondola is cool because we had our own speak to play whatever we pleased! It felt very private and intimate which I really enjoyed. I loved the decor throughout the restaurant and our gondola had cute little touches as well. For example they had a coo coo clock that when off every hour. For drinks I tried their feuerzangenbowle and the muled wine. My husband got a Hugo spritz and jagertee. I loved my drinks the feuerzangenbowle uses flambé which was so cool!, it's pretty similar to the muled wine. Muled wine is always a favorite of mine when the weather gets cold! Our server was awesome and super attentive. He answered any questions we had and was very friendly. The gondolas have a set menu we ended up ordering more that was on the set menu since I wanted fondue and my husband wanted the raclette. We added on a fondue, ordered the raclette that came on our fixed menu and added on steak, along with the pretzel that comes as an appetizer. The food was really good, I think it is also just so cozy and suiting for the cold weather! Fondue and raclette are also just such a fun way to dine! Highly recommend and definitely will be back just to try the standard experience too without the gondola.

    Server Diego was great! Kind of tight seating on the patio but we loved it. Alpenrose Pilsner in…read morethe big mug was perfect for our meal. The feuerzangenbowle is a fun, warm drink with mulled wine and they will light the rum-soaked sugar cube. Slightly limited on options if you don't eat pork but you will find something like the salad with chicken schnitzel to get your schnitzel fix. The spätzle that came with the pork schnitzel was amazing. This was a fun place to come and on our next trip to Vail would like to try the apple strudel dessert that I did not have room for this time.
